Bananagrams!

Do you like Scrabble, but not the LONG time between turns?  Then check out this alternative - Bananagrams!  This fast moving game is a little bit like Scrabble, but each person builds their own little crossword in front of them.  To start the game, you yell "Split!" and to draw another tile "Peel!".  The game is over when all the tiles have been drawn - maybe 10-15 minutes or so.  When you don't have all night for a game, this is a great alternative.  And when you're all done, the tiles store inside the cute little banana-shaped fabric bag.
